Hiking Pine Grove Furnace

After the miserable cloudy, cold, dreary winter we have been having the sun came out! We took advantage of the mild day, packed a picnic and headed to Pine Grove Furnace.  Daniel is an expert hiker and likes to lead the way.  Abigail hates being confined to the backpack so she mostly cries the whole time and tries to ruin the experience for everyone else. Roxy, even in her old age and bad health,  just loves to be in the woods, and if she finds a stream - she is as happy as can be.  The path we took happened to be a dead end so we stopped for a rest at the stream we could not forge, and then headed back to the car.  (The tree that had been the bridge was washed into the stream so there was no way for our family to get across.) 
No one really seemed to mind, we were just happy to be outside and together.
